AN. Hey! Thanks for the review, I'm glad you like it. I hope you like this chapter. :)

Basta's POV

"Crap! What should I tell her? I can't tell her the truth, she'd hate me. Not to mention she'd be in danger…" I think frantically , trying to think of what to say to her.

"I…I work as a…sales man. I sell knives." I sigh. Hopefully that will do.

"Oh, that sounds like fun!" Willow smiles. I love that smile. I nod.

"Yes it is but sometimes it's a pain. And what about you? I know you work here but do you work anywhere else?"

"No, just here. For now anyway. I want to be a writer so I hope to finish and sell my book soon." She blushes and looks away from me. I cup her cheek in my hand and gently bring her face around to face mine.

"I'm sure it'll be the best book ever." I say softly

"Thank you." She whispers. I just smile and she smiles back.

The moment is then interrupted by my phone ringing. I growl. "I'm sorry. Just a minute." I say to Willow and she nods. I get up and move away. I press the answer button only to be welcomes with Cockerels' voice.

"Basta!"

"What?" I growl

"Capricorn wants ye here now! He 'as a job for us!"

I sigh and pinch the bridge of my nose. "Fine I'll be there soon." I hang up before he can say anymore. I go back to Willow. "I'm sorry, I have to go." I see her face fall which just makes me feel worse.

"Oh , okay. Can I see you again?"

"Absolutely!" I smile. "Here. Tomorrow at about…1 o'clock?" She nods. "Great. Goodbye."

"Goodbye." I take a chance and lean forward and kiss her cheek. When I pull away I see pink covering her cheeks but she smiling. I turn and leave.

I'm about half way down the street when I hear her voice. "Basta wait!" I turn as she reaches me.

Before I can say anything she wraps her arms around me and I feel her lips on mine, in a soft kiss. Sadly, before I can do anything it's over as soon as it started.

"See you tomorrow." She whispers in my ear and runs back to the pub giggling. I just stand there for a moment before heading back to Capricorn's village with a huge smile on my face.

20 minutes later

I arrive at Capricorn's village and sadly as I'm walking to the church Cockrell walks up to me sneering, "What took ye so long! Capricorn's getting' mad!"

"Well you should have told him where I was then! He knows how far it is from here!"

"I didn't know where ye was!"

"Yes you did! I told you before I left, idiot." That shut him up and I march to church and enter it. I walk up to the alter where Capricorn sits and I bow, "Capricorn, I'm sorry I took a while getting here. Cockrell didn't tell you but I was two towns away."

Capricorn sighs, "Very well, you're forgiven. Now I need you to do something for me."

I nod, "Yes?"

"Go back to that town and get me a new maid, a pretty one, the one you brought in earlier didn't last long." I freeze.

Willow… I have to keep them from her…

I nod, "We'll be back soon." I bow and leave. I make my way to my car and as I do I bark, "Cockrell! Flatnose! We're leaving!"

They hurry up to the car, we get in and drive away.

Please Willow, be at home or something, don't still be at the pub.

Willow's POV

I get off the stage and check the time, I can go home now. I go get my stuff and then Pete comes over to me, "Hey, Willow. You did great tonight. I have to leave early tonight, my wife called and she's not feeling too well. Could you maybe lock up?"

I nod, "Of course."

Pete hugs me and leaves. I look around at the empty pub and sigh and decide to lock up now. I turn everything off and lock all the windows and doors. I step outside the pub and lock the front door.

I turn to leave to my car and I see Basta running up to me, I smile and then it drops when I see his worried face, "Basta, are you okay?"

"Get inside," he says urgently and takes my hand.

"What, why?"

"Please just do it."

I nod and unlock the door. Basta gently pushes me in, kisses my forhead and whispers, "When I leave lock the door."

I nod and do just what he says.

What just happened?

Basta's POV

I return to Cockrell and Flatnose and see they have gotten the girl I told them to get, "Where were ye?" Cockrell sneers.

"Just seeing if there were any other girls we could bring. There's not."

"Alright, then lets get back to the village."

I nod and we head back. I hope Willow doesn't see what we're doing.

AN. Awwwww I love Basta in love. It's so sweet :')
